It is often said “Only in America”, and the story of the dodgy fathers publicity stunt certainly fits the bill, but it got me thinking about how most of us really live.  It’s all very nice for the media, (and us), to waggle our bony fingers and tut tut their behaviour, but are we any different?

When I go and look at property for sale I have seen faults deliberately hidden to make things look different than what they really are.  I can even recall a book I read a few years ago on property where the author had put a piece of fabric on a rotten roof and painted over it so nobody would see. This was somehow meant to be funny or clever.

I see beautiful women throw their lives away in the desperate pursuit of love and watch countless people do cash jobs and lie to the government about their financial position.

So I conclude from my observations that we are all looking for publicity or affirmation or notoriety or acceptance or success and many of us will happily use deception to achieve it.

If you know you have a tendency to be like this then can I urge you to seek help, work on yourself until you conquer it.  Because as a property investor the temptation to bend the rules to your advantage is constantly in front of you.  Almost daily there is an opportunity to make another ten grand, avoid that tax or just know that as nobody is ever likely to find out don’t worry about it.

Probably no other industry I can think of is so full of apparent opportunities for the dishonest.  And because the gratification is so instant and large it can become addictive very quickly.  This is why I spend so much of my time teaching people how to make money without breaking the rules.  For me personally it is because my internal values require it but it is also a better way to do business. As an investor or trader you want people to keep referring you and coming back to do more business. That only occurs where they have been treated with respect and honesty.

After all isn’t that how you would want to be treated?
